Climate niche models correctly predicted the direction of some empirically documented range shifts for bird species in the genus Tyrannus. CREDIT: Jeewantha Bandara.

Climate niche models underestimate the speed with which species move in response to climate change, according to comparisons between the models and observed shifts for more than 3,500 species. Median rates were four times faster than predicted. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/Mokn50YCqty

GitHub - dickoa/samplyr: A Tidy Grammar for Survey Sampling A Tidy Grammar for Survey Sampling. Contribute to dickoa/samplyr development by creating an account on GitHub.

I love R for everything statistics, but I've always been a little jealous of statisticians using SPSS Complex Samples or SAS SURVEYSELECT to design their samples.

So I decided to build samplyr, a tidy and pipe-friendly grammar for survey sampling design in #rstats.

The origin of black and white coloration of the Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology

most probably for mate recognition (wing scales are main taxonomic characters e.g. in Anopheles). Another hypotheses include predator escaping, see doi.org/10.3762/bjna...

Hello Kyle. The photographic plates posted by @arimcollection.bsky.social were made for educational purposes and do not illustrate individual specimen from the collection. In fact, several individuals may be used to create a plate (this is the case here).

Graphic: Annual mean temperature difference (∆T) between areas covered 100% by urban vegetation and areas covered 100% by built-up surfaces, for 3 types of urban vegetation (trees, grasslands, croplands) and for 4 environments (tropical, temperate, boreal, arid)

Clues for cooling our cities:
Urban trees, urban grasslands & urban crops cool cities in most environments (negative values), except in arid conditions where only trees are effective. Shrubs likely behave as trees, I guess.
